Photo Album: SmartJacks Installation and Minor Joist Repair, North Billerica, MA
This homeowner in North Billerica, Massachusetts had been experiencing their floors in the main level are out of level. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.
Design Specialist Michael Bradley inspected the home. During his inspection, Michael found some wooden supports that are 80 years old. Additionally, Michael found a joint in the basement that had been cut to allow a PVC pipe to be installed. Michael recommended installing SmartJacks to replace the wood supports and installing a new joist and sister it up with the main support beam.
Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team arrived at the home and installed the SmartJacks and installed a new joist that is sistered up to the main support beam.
